Product description

Five-year support planning makes the most sense on hardware built to last in difficult conditions. The FortiAP-432FR is rated for hazardous environments and extended outdoor duty; pairing it with a five-year Elite contract means the SLA never degrades mid-lifecycle. The FC-10-FR432-204-02-60 upgrades an active FortiCare Premium contract on the FortiAP-432FR to Elite tier for five years: one-hour P1 response, same-day RMA, and 24/7 Fortinet telephone support for 60 months without a mid-cycle renewal.

What the 5-Year Upgrade Includes

Service code 204 is a Premium-to-Elite overlay applied to a registered FortiAP-432FR already carrying FortiCare Premium. Activating this 5-year contract raises the support level to Elite for 60 months: one-hour response for critical cases, same-day hardware replacement dispatch (subject to regional inventory), dedicated Technical Account Manager access, and continuous 24/7 telephone TAC availability. All existing Premium entitlements (firmware, portal, advanced replacement) continue unchanged alongside the upgrade.

FortiCare Tier Comparison

This contract lifts the FortiAP-432FR from Premium to Elite for the full 5-year term. The table shows what changes:

Feature Essential Premium Elite
Critical-issue response Next Business Day 4-Hour (24/7) 1-Hour (24/7)
Telephone support Business Hours 24/7 24/7
Advanced hardware replacement
Same-day RMA
Firmware, tools & portal access
Dedicated TAM & Elite extras *

* Extended LTS support and monitoring portal are available for FortiGate models only.

Who This Is For

Teams managing FortiAP-432FR access points in locations where wireless outages carry operational or safety weight benefit most from a five-year Elite commitment. Offshore platforms, industrial manufacturing floors, transportation hubs, and large outdoor campus networks all fit this profile. Matching a five-year hardware lifecycle with a five-year Elite contract removes annual renewal conversations and keeps the SLA consistent from deployment through end-of-life.

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-FR432-204-02-60 is a software license delivered electronically, typically within one business day of purchase from DataCenter360.ca. Activate through the Fortinet Support Portal against the FortiAP-432FR’s registered serial number. Confirm that the underlying FortiCare Premium contract term is long enough to align with this five-year upgrade, or arrange Premium renewal alongside this purchase.

Other Terms Available

The same Premium-to-Elite upgrade is also available in 1-year (FC-10-FR432-204-02-12) and 3-year (FC-10-FR432-204-02-36) terms. If the hardware refresh cycle is still being evaluated, the 3-year option covers the typical enterprise wireless replacement window while keeping a decision point open at year four.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

DataCenter360.ca holds Fortinet Select Partner and MSSP authorization for FortiCare contracts across all FortiAP models. This 5-year upgrade is available for immediate electronic delivery to customers in any country. Provide the FortiAP-432FR serial number at activation to confirm the contract binds to the correct unit and term start date.

Does the FortiAP-432FR need active FortiCare Premium before this can be applied?
Yes. The 204 service code is a Premium-to-Elite overlay. The access point must be registered with an active FortiCare Premium subscription before the Elite upgrade activates. If Premium has expired, renew it first and then purchase and apply this upgrade.
What happens if same-day RMA parts are not available in my region?
Same-day RMA is subject to regional parts inventory. Fortinet communicates lead times at the time of the RMA request and provides priority handling for Elite-tier accounts even when same-day shipment is not possible in a given location.
Can a 5-year upgrade be applied mid-Premium contract?
Yes. The Elite upgrade typically co-terms with or extends from the activation date. Provide Fortinet with the existing Premium contract details during activation to confirm proper term alignment and avoid any gaps in coverage.
Is this contract valid for access points deployed outside Canada?
Yes. FortiCare Elite contracts are global; the license activates in Fortinet’s worldwide support system regardless of where the FortiAP-432FR is physically installed. DataCenter360.ca delivers the license key electronically to customers in any country.
What is the difference between the 3-year and 5-year Elite upgrades?
Both upgrades deliver identical Elite-tier coverage: 1-hour P1 response, same-day RMA, and a dedicated TAM. The 5-year option covers 60 months vs. 36 months for the 3-year, costs less per year, and eliminates one additional renewal cycle over the hardware’s working life.
